The Deplorable Condition OF Working.
Women in the City OF London.
Lord Brabazon gives startling re-
port of the condition of the London
poor. He shows from official returns
by various workers societies that in
1885 nearly 1000 capable men. repre-
senting a quarter of u million human
beings, were out of employment They
are not the only sufferers. 1t would
hardly be Al exaggeration to say that
thousands of men and women in en-
ployment are nearly as bad off as those
with nothing to do. Year after year.

KEEPING ROOT CROPS.
A Method by which Roots May Be Fed b

A Method by which Roots May Be Fed -
Cattle All Winter.
Custom has prompted farmers to
keep the root crops stored in pits OUT

cellent one. as the room in the barn
cellar is not filed to overlooking. and
by simply covering with straw and
earthing up the mound all danger OF
frost will be avoided. But the diff

that the farmer often finds he can not
utilize his root crops. They are so
solidly and tightly sealed as though
bound in iron. and not until the frost
shall begin to leave the ground can he
make use of them. 1t is just as easy
to keep the beets, carrots and turnips
in the barn cellar rs in the mounds in
the open air. All that is necessary IS
to avoid having them thaw too sud-
denly after having been frozen. There

properly stored. In Illinois, where the

There is no danger to them except too

woMAN.s HOME CLUB.
A COOPERATIVE Association Of Women
A Club That II Doing . Good Work.

A Co.Operat,vs Association Of Women
A Club That II Doing . Good Work.
A correspondent of the Denver Re-
publican gives an interesting account
of one Of the youngest among the
many women's clubs that are now
springing up all over the country. and
are already SO great a power for good.
To the women of every city, where no
such association has yet been formed.
we commend the example of these en-
ergetic ladies, with the entreaty to "go
and do likewise"
The idea of cooperative associa-
ton among women Of all classes was
first suggested last December by Sister
Ada, the well-known English deacon
ess. Through her efforts several meet
ings of ladies representing all denomi-
nations were held, an organization
effected, and the WOman's Home Club
duly incorporated under the laws OF
the State of Colorado. The objects OF
the club were to assist self-supportins
women in their search for work; to
provide for them pleasant home and
board at cost prices, an important
feature Of which would be the social
element of the club-rooms and library,
and to establish bureau of infOrma-
ton which should benefit employers as
well as employed. and eventually de-
velop training-school in which cook
inc, homework. sewing. dressmaking.

fact, all branches of industry. shall be

to offer pleasant rooms to ladies from
out of town, especially from the mount
ain towns, who desire to spend a short
time in Denver.
